Storm Reports For Friday August 27

Friday August 27 2021

Storms erupted during Friday afternoon. This followed the trend all summer with weather events over achieving short range modeling. At least we have been able to identify it and expect it.

This radar loop from 4 PM to 7 PM shows the lines of storms, and individual cells merging around the larger mesoscale circulation. This is in part why there was added intensity.

Radar Loop

Pockets of storms can be seen here. The northern cluster between Carroll County MD and York County PA was particularly active with lightning.

WE can see the southern part merging with another cell to enhance over Harford County MD

The line that developed in Anne Arundel County produced the most wind damage reports (shown below).

Satellite Loop 4 PM to 7 PM

This is fascinating. Watch closely and you will see multiple cells pop up at the same time. The convective temperature and atmospheric trigger was ignited.

Storm Damage

Lightning struck a building on Marin Street in Manchester MD. This is located in Northern Carroll County, next to Dutch Corner Restaurant. My friend Susan Rill shared this, and thankfully no one was hurt. Main St was closed.
